Entering just a VAT invoice

Why do you need to send a separate VAT invoice?

Also, better check legal requirement first. In Canada any invoice over CAD 30.00 MUST display the GST amount and the GST Number.

If it is permitted in the OP's jurisdiction, he could make a regular invoice for internal use and then make a copy of the Company QBW file, make an invoice with a ZERO rated VAT amount for the goods/services and a separate invoice, again zero rated but for the amount of the VAT and just put the Description: To charge VAT on Invoice # ...

If i make a sale of Sterling1000, then I have to add VAT. Just becuase I invoice somebody in Euros doesn't mean that I can avoid charging VAT. But in this case the amount and the VAT would be in different currencies. For clarity I have done one invoice in Euros and then another for the VAT (based on the value if the Euros were Sterling).

This is how I've done this pre-QB. But how should I do this on QB? Two invoices or one?

I see no reason for raising two invoices. Just raise an invoice with Euro's and the sterling conversion. The sterling amounts are what you enter in the accounts and the total Euro amount is what your customer pays.

No need to get into two invoice complications.

I don't see what's so difficult about two invoices but it's unnecessary.

Is it not easier to get their VAT number and then you just setup and use the ES VAT code as explained in the help i.e. you don't then need to Invoice the VAT element at all other than as zero.
